Id, as promised, has released the source code for Doom 3. A delay was threatened when tech director John Carmack recently tweeted that lawyers for Bethesda were "skittish about the patent issue" with a trick called Carmack's Reverse that was used in the full game, but the law, quite clearly, is an ass. It's now available from GitHub. Get to it. Thanks, Gamefront. ncG1vNJzZmivp6x7t7ORbW5nm5%2BifKW7zqZkbGWjpMKzr8RmmqiclWKut63IpZibpJViu7DD

Who says unlock screens can't be fun? When using the Nintendo Switch in handheld (portable) mode, the console acts a bit like a phone or tablet. The lock screen is part of this, and though it functions similarly to others on iOS or Android, it's also got the Nintendo touch. There's a bit of an Easter egg in here. Any of the buttons you press to unlock the screen make a standard sound, but only four of them play some cool and different sounds when pressed.

Final Fantasy 14’s 2010 launch was a catastrophe that the series barely survived. It was only through sheer perseverance and determination that it did, the developers at Square Enix grinding away in their own real-world MMO. Naoki Yoshida was given a chance to take the wheel and right the ship. In the end, he and team did so spectacularly and have forged perhaps gaming's greatest comeback story. In September of 2013, the realm of Eorzea was reborn.

Sifu is, in a few ways, a bit of an unlikely follow-up to Absolver. Slocalp, the French team behind the unique martial arts fighting game Absolver, is moving away from online games with its next project, Sifu. Revealed last week at Sony's State of Play, Sifu is a story-based, martial arts action game. Just in case it wasn't clear in the trailer, Sifu does not have an online component, which isn't exactly where fans expected the studio to go next.

Could any other vehicle capture the cartoony spirit of Fortnite better than the care-free coasting of a shopping cart? Here are some handy tips on where you can find a shopping cart around the Fortnite map. There will be more competition for shopping carts this week, since one of the Season 4, Week 9 challenges is to “use a Shopping Cart”.

A new report states that Sony is looking to redesign the PS5's hardware. This is according to the Taiwanese outlet Digital Times (paywall), which cites industry sources. According to the report, Sony will redesign PS5 with a "new semi-customized" 6nm CPU from AMD. At present, it seems the 5nm is too costly (thanks, Dr. Serkan Toto). Again, this would be a spec redesign, not a console redesign. In other words, the console would feature the same performance and same enclosure, it would just be less expensive for Sony to make.

Figuring out the best Sayu team comps in Genshin Impact is more difficult than usual since the lazy ninja is one of the game’s more versatile characters. The most effective Sayu teams are built around either her Skill or her Burst, but never both. The right team can turn Sayu’s Skill into a powerful elemental force that brings even the strongest foes to their knees. Burst teams are much more flexible, though, since Sayu can work with pretty much anyone.

A fading memory of town is all that remains of Centralia, Pennsylvania. Its earth is hot to the touch as smoke billows past the surface and into the air, blotting out the sun. Gnarled streets and empty lots are strewn in graffiti, commemorating the bitter absence of all life. This desolation, laden with sinkholes and trash, is the result of a coal vein set ablaze more than half a century ago.
